ACOUSTIC AND FIRE-RATED GLAZING
F or the South West College’s Erne Campus project, Fire Glass Direct designed and installed single and double-glazed acoustic and fire-rated glazing. The team at Fire Glass Direct worked alongside Tracey Brothers very early in the programme, which helped ensure the entire process moved along smoothly. A brief was received at the design stage
of the process, which required a mixture of fire- rated and acoustic glazing. The company provided a specification to achieve the various requirements and once that was approved, they were able to begin procurement of the various materials required, which in turn, cut down lead times. For the partitions, the design team provided drawings for approval and the installation team then fitted the double-glazed aluminum framing, doors and glazing.
Having been in business since 2004, Fire Glass Direct designs, manufactures and installs a wide variety of glass products and glazing systems catering to the public and private sectors throughout the UK and Ireland.
